YEARLY MAINTENANCE 

Convection Blower Cleaning 

Since the convection blower does not handle any by-products of combustion, it 
does not require serious cleaning like the exhaust blower.  However, dust from the 
home and other debris in the air can accumulate on the blades of the convection 
blower.  The convection blower is located on the side of the opposite the 
combustion blower, and while the insert is pulled out of the fireplace, the 
convection blower should be visually inspected for any dust build-up.  Any dust 
that has built up on the fan blades can usually be easily removed with a vacuum or 
a soft paint brush.  As always, be certain the stove is cool and 

unplugged

 before 

servicing any components within the unit. 

Cleaning Pellet Fines from the Hopper and Auger 

Depending on the type and quality of pellets burned in the stove, some 
accumulation of pellet fines and dust is possible in the hopper.  The lowest part of 
the auger, near the back of the stove, is where most fines will accumulate.  With 
the stove off and 

unplugged

, use a utility vacuum to remove the fines from the 

auger tube.  If the fines cannot be removed from the top of the hopper: 

 

In order to access the combustion blower, the unit will have to be at least 
partially removed from the fireplace opening (or alternatively, the surround 
kit and side panels can be removed to access the blower). 

 

Using a 3/16” allen wrench, loosen the set screw on either side of the auger 
mounting collar. 

 

With a utility vacuum in hand, let the auger assembly slide out of the auger 
tube just enough so that the vacuum can be used to remove any fines from 
this area. 

 

Reinstall the auger assembly and tighten the two set screws; reinstall the 
back panel and the two side panels, being certain to tighten the six (6) 
retaining screws on the rear of the stove.
